EngageBay alternatives
The 9 closest of 17, each with its real monthly cost at 3 users and what it does that EngageBay does not. See all 22.
HubSpot does everything we verified about EngageBay for $134.97 a month less at 3 users, $60 against $194.97. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: EngageBay is built for the lowest price per user and HubSpot is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
Why people look for an alternative
The contact caps are tight (500 on Basic, 5,000 on Growth) so a large list pushes you to $119.99 a user, calling is credits not unlimited, and the pricing page itself carries two unexplained inconsistencies.
It runs $194.97 a month at 3 users with the add-ons it forces on you included. 16 of the 17 alternatives to EngageBay cost less than that.

How to read the feature lines
Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a free plan and pricing per user. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other 14 are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
Or let it pick for you
This page compares everything to EngageBay. The shortlist asks 7 questions about what you need it for and how many people need a login, and gives you four picks priced at your own team size, which is a better question than “what is like the one I already have”.
